"I decided to paint an animal, now that I've learned how to from art academy, but as always I wanted to push myself so I decided a dove would be perfect. For the ground (background) I used muted cool colors or earthy warm colors in order to let them subside in the backdrop while adding a sense of gold to the dove itself in order to allow her to pop forward. P.S. in my head her name is Floof! I hope you love her!"
